Tbe Dallas Observer, in speak
ing of the Dallas-Corvallis, , bas
ket ball, game ends with the
following: The only cause of
regret among; the Dallas people
who visited the game is the rough
and ungentlemanly treatment
to which thev were subjected
the train was leaving Corvalli.
Not content with 's'ealing the
signal lanterns on the train, cut
ting the bellcord and piling cord
wood under the car wheels, a
band of hoodlums lined uo along
the track, and as the train began
to move, threw mud upon the
passengers by the handful.
Several persons standing on
the platforms were struck by rocks,
and many suits and overcoats
were ruined by tbe volley of mud j
that was thrown. At every street
crossing trom the depot to the
north end of towu this disgrace
ful performace was repeated, and
when the train reached the sub
urbs many of the passengers who
had been unable to crowd into
the coaches were plastered with
mud irom head to foot. The ex
cursionists were so surprised and
astonished at such a display of
ruffianism in a town where they
had gone as friendly' visitors that
they could scarely realize what
had happened.
This surprise gave way to in
dignation when it was recalled
by many passengers that amon
the rowdies making the cowardly
assault were a large number of
young men wearing the caps and
uniform of the college. No blame
is attached to the good people of
Corvallis. to the college team, or
to the college faculty for the dis
graceful conduct of this bind of
young to ighs, and the Observer
has but one word of suggestion to
managers ot the school. Pok
county pays annually something
over $7Jo in taxes for the support i
ot the Agricultural College, jLTid
we would advise that a pirt or j
all this money be spent in train
ing a number of the students to
be gentlemen.
Si c l a course of study isbacl
ly need in the O. A. C. curricu
lum, and the people of Polk
county, especially those whose
Clothing was ruined by mild and
whose arms and bodies were I
. . t
bruised by flying Stones and mis- j
siles, will Cheerfully pay their t
part of the expense."
The editor of the Observer was j
among the visitors and 'received J
a bad blow on the arm with a
rock. He is fully justified in
giving vent to his indignation
and we regret that the visitors
did not resent tbe insult by giv
ing tit for tat.
